I tie of ! spproaohlnj$ National Convention, ought tu 1 enough to satisfy tho country beiher it can safely t Intrusted Uli tbe gorernment. When a (treat ptrty, la free counti "question the- principle! and opposes the policy 9!" it opponent, uaintaiiia tioro criticism, and Jemand power ia order to prore thtt ha owo principle and policj will rüoro surely accure the public welfare, it occupies a portion which i at least consistent, and in a tuoa.cnt of fatigue or doubt or disgust tna; luccced in supplaullog it sdveraary. But when a part aaya tlat It docs not exact!; know whether it La any principles, sod cso nut determine who represents- iti policy, one day Insisting that it had better acquiesce ia the policj of iti opponent at a touted . result, and the next that it had batter do rio auch thing, it offen a ludicrous and contemptible spectacle. That ia precisely tie petition of the Democratic party. It doea not know whether to tLht 'or retreat or surrender. It can not resolve whether a' radical Republican or a peace Copperhead ia ita bet tcr candidate. It can not decide whether to declare tie question of reconduction eloacd, or.lo reopen it altogether. It wann to denounce equal suffrage, and it is afraid to any any thing about it. Tbl ia one of the tuoat interesting and iruportaut epochs in our history, and the Domo, eratio partj can not aake up ita tuind what to think about It. Last autumn it triumphantly shouted tint the great re action bad begun, and nuw it consider. whether the points shall be conceded agaimt which it declared, th reaction to le directed. Its Convention meets in a week, and it doe not know whether ita inspiration ahail.be relentless hostility to the war ai a wicked outrage, or approvsl of it as a necessary exercise of legitimate authority. Is this a party to be intrusted with the government of this country? With whatever candidate and whatever professions it may enter npou the election, is this a party to which thoughtful and sensible men will give their aupport? Whatever a man's previous respect fur the ability and career of Mr. Chase, would he wish to vote for him if Mr. Chi were willing to receive the numinaticrr of a convention which serionsly entertained Mr. IVndleton as tie contesting Candidate? . Mr. Chase, elected Pieeident by hundreds of vo'e reluoantly cast for him, but which would have been joyfully thrown .for Hcndrick, or SVyniour, or Vallandigham -for whom 1'end'eton i merely a .uba.itu'e could nut be independent of those Totes; nor-cf the policy and tendency which they rptryent. Ün!ci we suppose a political teriiversitiou which is in credible, namely, a renuuetation of his JZpuIlican v!owa to obtain a, Democratic jurty, Mr ('haw would, of course, be a party President, and dipcne hin patron like other l'rtidcntt. Whoever voted for him would vo'e to plc the administration of the government in the hands of Democratic politicians, and, of eonrae, for the promotion of D:ruucratio views and polio. ' " If that h a desirable result; if the atcetidancy of the Democratic- party, a the Country knows it by nioet tragical experience, would tend to tho speedy restora lion of lie Union upon enduring piiocip'cs, then we ein conceive why a Republic n might think tint he ought to vote fr Mr. Chae aa a Dt'tucrrntic candidate.

Ia rebellion, and as a man remarkable for MfBclty, moderation,' integrity, honesty, a d Cdwlity a party which did not hasitate to dostroy slavery to wh the v'to tory, oor to establish equal suffrage to secure the fruits of victory, ie a party which deserves the cordial support of every citlteo who wishes thtt tit icar of the wir may rapidly disappear, and tha future of the country be founded upon a truly just, sensible, and American policy. While a piriy which, withtri i week of iti Presidential -nomination, baa no common conviction, and ,no defined policy, and Is detracted among candidates who represent radically hostile and irrccon cilable principles, is merely a body of con spirators, torn with doubt whether they can beat secure foisefsion ' of the church plato by piously kneeling and as soemlng

Mr. Julian deserves 'greet credit (says the Richmond fikyram,) for the thorough manner in which he has exposed tho swindle attempted by 'certain parties in reference to the Cherokee and Osage land grants, and the prompt introduction of a joint resolution, directing the President to withhold the patents now demanded by the speculators. The facts aro "briefly there: Thtrty-seven years ago the Government heid in trust for tho Cherokee Indians the sum of 5500,000, and, having sppropriated it, give the Cherokccs in steaJ a deed of 800,000 acres of land in what is now Southern Kansas, They never occupied the landi, which were Leid in trust for then) by the Ooveromoot uo til bvna iJt white settlers took possesion of, and improved them, expecting to ob tain title under the Homestead , and Preemption laws. Fifty thousand lettlcrs had entered upon the lande a year ago, and the number bias since greatly increase l. In 'CG the Cherokee asierted their claim, but proposed to sell tho 'land, to the Government for coit. A treaty was undo providing for their rale, either to settlers at low rates (ss a Hind) or in a lump, for not less than $300,000. The landa being worth at least 63,000,000,' were leught up by an American' K migrant Company for exactly $300,000 $23,000 down, and! $775,000 on very long time. When Drowning succeeded Harlan, ho 'act aside'' the sale to tho Emigrant Company, and made another to Joy,' of Detroit. After some conflict, there two grantees made joint stock of their titles, ia order to make common, warfare on tho settlers The lands arc 1 now considered worth at least $S,tJ00,0no, leaving a profit to the operatora of $7,200,000, to bo wrung from the bard earned savings of tho Kansas settlers. One of them writes to Mr. Julian that half of the adiilt males on these lands were in the war for the Union, and helped fight for the- Nation's life. Some of them were . broken down and khattcred in health in Rebel prison, and othera bear the marks of Hebel shot and shell. Their inquiry is: Vis this salo of our homes the return our country makes The Osago lands, consisting of 8,000,000 acres, wero bought of the 0age Nation, by MrSturgia, of Chicago, ti e principal owner of a proposed Leavenworth, Lawrence and Galveston Railroad, for $1, 600,003, being twenty cents an aero, payable in fifteen year. Gen. C. W. Blair, of Fort 3cott, bid $2,000,000, with the guarantee of reservation for half-breeds and school land; but for some reason this last bid was not recognizod. A thorough investigation will make soma rich developments snd result in giving the actual settlers their rights. Gen. Grant and the Jews. We publish in another column a letter from General Rawlins, chief of General (irant'a tff, explanatory of the military order issued in 1SG2, expelling Jewish traders from the army lines in tha Southwest, lie hows the imperative necessity that existed at tie time for-prcventing the movement of. unauthorized persona' within the sphere of operations; and, finding that Grant' directions on lb subject were viohtcd by a certain class of Hebrew., the military order in 'quct!on was issued. The outcry which the Democrats aro now making about the order is merely a party trick, and will have ho. effect upon intelligent and patriotic Hebrews, a large majority of whom were loyal during the war, and contributed liberally toward rutuiuiug the Government Railroad Accident. The passenger train from Mdion, due at Indianapolis st noon Saturday, ran over a. cow, a tnile below Columbus'. There was hut one pavetgcr car, which' was thrown from the track, together with tho engine and baggage car. . All the pai-en-ce r were more or less Injured, among whom wan Hon. II. W."

Grant's Explanations. We find in tho newspapers tho following letter from General Grant's Chief of Staff, to L. N. Dembitz, Esq, oTLouisville, Kentucky, explanatory of the famous order expelling the Hebrews from the lines of the army: Headquarters Armv United States,) Washington, May C, 18C3. j Sir Tour letter relating to tho order of General Grant, dated Oxford, Mis, issippi, December 17, ISO-, expelling Jews aa a clav, from his department, is before roe. You are doubtless aware that General Grant has never, either by himself or through the a;d of friends, attempted to defend any military order which the emergencies of the service scorned at tho time to require. However, as my name is attached to it as Aaitant Adjutant General, it mav not be improper to Kate that at and previous to its date our military affairs were in a most critical condition, and important movements were transpiring. General Sherman was collecting forces at Memphis and Helena. General Grant wai moving steadily ogainct Pcmbcrton, at Grenada, keeping up appearances of immediate attucc, to divert bis attention from Sherman; and in cooperation with Grant, Dodge was moving south from Corinth. The success of Grant's plans depended on keeping the enemy in ignorance of his real purpose, nxinely, the surprise and capture ol'Vicksburg by Shermao; and it was therefore of the utmost importance that every avenue of iofcrmatiou to the enemy should be closed. Tie most stringent orders had previously been published foibidding person going or coming through our Hues, limiting traders to certain boundaries, and pro hibiting the passage cf coin South, or the payment of it tor Southern products. 1'ertUtent violations of theso orders by persons principally of the Jewish race, were thu auijccts of constant reports by many of General Grant's subordinate, some of whom bad even issued order expelling them from the lines, but which General Grant had promptly revoked. Reports of the same-character were also received from other than military sources. At length, on the evening of December 17th, lbC2, (the dato of the order,) the mail brought from Washington a large number of complaints, officially referred to him by the Geoeral-inchief of the army, against this class of persons, for violations ot'the above-meutioucd orders. The General felt, after reading them, that some immediate action was demanded of him. l(e realized to ita full extent tho critical condition of military affairs, and judged, whether wisely or unwisely, that to meet the exigency action must be immediate, thorough, and in a form not to be evaded. TLe order you refer to was the reault. It wo written and telegraphed to bis subordinates, without revision, leaving all persona not justly amenable to it term to be relieved on their individual application. Tie idea that it was issued on sccount of the religion of the Jews can not be heriously entertained by any one who knows tho General's steadfast adherence to the ftrihciples of American liberty and religou toleration. Very respectfully, ?our obedient str vant. on A Rawlins, T Lewis N. Dembits, Esq, Louisville, i Jy.

Tho Last Lie. Tie last charge analnst Mr. Colfax Is

tie lollowiug, in the Washington Cunttitutional Union, of Juue 17: "Tie following is an extract from a let ter written by Schuyler Colfax: 11 I once registered a solemn oatn nev er to vote for a foreign born man for aty office under the American Government, aud to remove all foreigners, aliens and Roman Catholics from i tiice whenever I tuijiht possea the power to do so.' " if Ao was this letter written to, and whrnT No one can answer, for it is a base coinage. Mr. C. has had every act of hi life, publio and privnto, thoroughly "canned and criticiaed in the aharp, liaud-to land con teats he has had with his opponents seven times over, since 1851, aud haa teen every time indorsed sod vindicated by thoie who know lim as tlorouglly as his constituents do. Ill district contsius more loieiuners than arty other in Indiaus, and he has always, in rplte of just such charges, received more of their votes than any other Republican. One cf his counties, Lake, ha a majority of its voters of foreign birth. While he has beenruuning fur Congress, he has converted it from a Dom oeratio county to the ""banner" Republican county of the District, giving him stesdily increasing ruajoritie -the last time tally two to one. In Clay township In hi own county, (St. Joseph.) a majority of whose voters are Catholic, he has several tixta ratriod it, when the rest of his ticket haa been beaten in it by over a two third vote. And, as the Republican State ticket in Indian ha almost always one or tisore of its nomlncss of foreign bi r h he hss voted for such candidates at nearly every election: snd smong' them we remember Albert Lange, born in Germany, for State Auditor; John xung, born- In Great Britain, for State Superintendent; John L. Mansfield, lorn in Germany, do. Was there ever a more stupid and malig nant fulrehood than tho above "extractor a letter written by Schuyler Colfaxf' New York Tribune. Withdrawal of Döllen' Ticket The bolter's electoral ticket, whose representatives were refused the right to voto in the Chicago Convention, as delegates from Maryland, hoi been withdrawn, and they pledge themselves to unite with the regular Republican organization in support of Grant and Colfax. The bolter's liehet was headed by Judge Bond and op posed by every Republican journal in the State, they all supporting the action ot tho regular organization. A Johnson's Opinion of Gen. Grant. In hi message to the Senato, Decem ber. 18G7. Andrew Johnson said of General Grant, whom he had previously called to tho War Depaitroent, that "salu tary reforms have been introduced by the Secretary ad intrritn, snd great reductions of expenses have been effected under his sdminWtration of the War Department, toie tiling of millions to the Treaiury' A Democratio Translation. The following is said to be the Democratic translation of the Lord's Prsjer: "Our white Father, who srt in a white heaven, hallowed bo Thy white name. T4iy white kingdom come. Thy white will bo done. Give us th is day our daily white bread, and forgive our white brethren who differ f rom us, and carry out Thy curso on the colored population. Lead us into white temptation to oppress the blacks, and deliver us from Republicans snd negro evils. For Thine i a white kingdom. Thine is a white power, Thine is a white glory, for ever and ever. Amen." The St. Louis Democrat says that 'Biick" Pomeroy's recent speech in that city made Grant 200 votes, and wants "Brick" to come again. - The Reconstruction Bill. The President yesterday vetoed tbe reconsttuction bill providing for the admis lion cf North and South Curolina, Georgia, Alabama and Florida into the Union. It took the House twenty minutes and tho Seuato ten minutes to pass the measure over the veto. Tbe Democrats did not like the position Johnson pliced them in, but they were forced to face the musio snd voted solid to sustain tho veto. Within a week all these Stotcs will be fully represented in Congress. The Democratio members of Congress have talked themsclvca boa no against the "injustice'' of keeping Southern representatives out of Cungrt'KS, and have voted steadily sgatns; admitting them. The fact is, this party is sorely troubled because a Republics u Congress has so nearly completed tho work of reconstruction completed it, too, ou a loyal basis, snd io spite of the opposition of Democrats, rebels, and Andrew Johnson. Gazette, 20th. A Washington dispatch to the copperhead dailies of the West says that the reduction of the tax on whisky is regarded as s political necessity by the Radicals, and that Congress will not adjourn until it is accomplished. We sre glad to learn that the Democratic whisky ring have given up the hope that Congress may adjourn without lowering the tax. Every gallon of whisky manufactured ought to have paid the Government the legal tax of two dollars, but since Mr. Johnson has turned over that branch of the revenue to a gang of thieves ft has not paid one-eighth of that sum. It is not only a political necessity to the Republican party that this ring of villains should be broken op by a reduction of the tax, as that seems to be the only method of doing so while Andrew Johnson remains President; but it is also a financial necessity to the country. It is a shame that the honest tax-payers of the nation have been compelled to pay millions more evory year than they neod to if the whisky tsx had been collected. So much they have suffered by Johnson's defection to the corrupt Democracy. Journal. " The Copperhead papers have again begun to publish a circular headed, "Sixteen reasons why the Republicar Party should not run Gen. Graot for President ia 1SC8.'' It appeared last August, and was attributed to the friends of Mr. Colfax, who at once emphatically disowned it and repudiated its assertions. It will doubtless be extensively reprinted during the coming; summer, as embodying tbe. views of Mr. Colfax respecting Gen. Grant. Those

who give it currency, however, will do so 1 with tie consclonsnes of uttering a biso j

falsehood. The Rochester (N. V.) Union, a piper which we did not deem so unscrupulous, in the first one in which we hsve seen the publication this season, .Mil Tho Copperhead Greenback Humbug Immense efforts hsve been put forth by Democratio organs fn the Weal to manufacture political capital for their party by f reposing the payment of the publio dobt ii greenback. They pretend that tbe right of the Government to do this is a Democratio disomy, but for which every debt owing by the Government would be paid, sooner or later, in gold. This ia un true. There haa never been a lima that the Secretary of the Treasury could not use every surplus dollar of greenbacks In redeeming some form of publio debt, and if ho had a hundred millions today be eould apply it all, under existing laws, to that object. Tho difficulty is not that the Secretary cannot use greenbacks in fiaying publio indebtedness, but that he s not able to get euongh for the purpose. National banks and private capitalists now hold fifty millions of three per cent, certificates, issued in redemption of an equal amount of five( per cent? and ix per cent, treaaury notes, all of which were payable in legal tender greenbacks, as are the three per cent iatued in their stead. All the seven-thirty bond are due, or will be in a short time. Those past due the Secretary has the right to pay off in greenbacks, but be haa not the currency to pay Ihcm with, and therefore has adver tised that he will continue to receive them for conversion it;to fie twenty bonds. He has millions ol gold lying in the treasury vaults, with which he miyht redeem seven thirties at a heavy discount, but he fail tu use It. A proposition was submitted in the House of Representatives a day or two ago, to compel him to sell the surplus gold tor greenback and apply them to the reduction of tho interest bvuring debt We hope it will puss, or, what we think would be belter, that he shall be r?quire4 to tiler, from tin e to lime, mien stium of gold as the treasury hss no immediate use for iu exchange for bonds, those offering the bet lern.s for the Government to be prelerred. In (his way, we should uet in the bond at prices equivalent to their redemption in greenbacks, and all ofihe latter currency that could bu spared after pitying the current t xpense ot the Gov ernment, might still bo employed in di. charging thatclus of debts expressly payable in lawful itiOi cy. The only distinctive element in the Pendleton programme was thut enough greenbacks should be printed to redeem every class of bond, save the ten forties as faxt as they attained the ige ot five jears, the Government Laving tie vption to redeem them at'icr fho ycuia from their date, or at tho expiration of twenty year. There was a directness in this proposition lla' ever bo. iy could ui.detttatjd, and it was iuiiueiisely popular with all who favored a repudiation ol lie public debt, lor they reasoned correctly that an additional isue of greenbacks to lie amount of $2,000, 0ÜO.O0O, would be equivalent to a direct repudiation tf ibo bonded dibt, snd that it would bo sj eedily followed by a repudiation i f the flood of greenbacks. Rut of late the Democratic newspaper organs have denied that either party or Mr. Pendleton lavor the isauo f any considerable addition to the present paper currency Indeed, they have wandetcdso fur Iroui their original greenback pr ject that they fuiit usly assail as liuis tlioso Republicans who rej ie.cnt them us favoring the printing press mod of raisiug greenbacks wherewith to teilte tbe five tweuty bonds. Ou this change of bate being announced we begged the Sentinel, which wo supposed knew what Democratio piiuciples and measures were, st least iu this State, to inloim us how its party rroposed to redeem the public dett with grtenbaeks auy luster than has bscn done heretofore, unless by a new aud enlarged issue of them; but il has not veutuicU to answer. We have also inquired of our neighbor whether tbe Democratio party is prepared to advocate increased laxutiou for tho purpose of raising more greenbacks to be employed in ping the interest bearing debt. To this quetticn it gives no response. The fact I, the Pctidletonians dare not deeluro themselves either iu fivor of tho manufacture of more legal tender by the Government printing presse or of iuueusing the taxes. TlrcLting the case, what is there left of their hobby of paying the bouded debt in greenbacks, except a declaration of the abstract right ot the Government to puy in that currency when it has ii'l Absolutely nothing, but they can not rally recruits on-an abstraction, especially iu thi instance, for the Government was paying out gteenbacks at pur on the public debt, long before Mr Pendleton's humbug scheme was broached, and it has been doing so ever since. How are the five-twenties to be paid at the rate of five hundred millions per annum, except by heavier .taxation or the nutiuf'icture of more greenbacks, so contemptuously described by Mr. Pendleton in his Congressional speech of. 18C2. a "fugitives aud vagabonds in the earth?" Until the hypocritical Democratic converts to a greenback currency are prepared to take a position in favor of one or the other cf these methoda of providing means for liquidating the interest-bearing debt, their tiarangues about paying in green backs scarcely amount to a plausible humbug. The whole thing is a cheat and a swindle, iotouded to deceive the credulous and win a few votes to the Copperhead cause, on the false pretense that they can somehow dispose of the publio debt in a way that will cost the people nothing. Journal. jj ; Weak Inventlona. Tne campaign against General Grant has thus far been conducted by saying that he is no soldier, and that bis name is Hiram; tbat sguiost Mr. Colfax by inventing a series of very stupid falsehoods. Whether the General is guilty of the name of Hiram is a point which may be safely left to his enemies to settle. Whether he be a soldier, those enemies who hare a right to an opinion, fur instauce, Duckner st Donel.-tou, Fembertoo at Vicksburg, Rragg at Chattanooga, and Lee io Vir ginia, havo probably made up their minds.

of the army. It did not used bis naturally indignant dcdial of so tild a slander to dispoa of it forever. Tho other Imitation is, (hat he is hostile to foreigners. Rut tha truth is, that Mr. Colfax has showsj himself more friendly to the Feuiaa Movement than almost all of our puLtia men, and so well known is his sytnpsiby for the just rights of all men, of whatever land they msy chance to b native, that b has alwsys gieatly led the sversge vote of hia party In parts of his State wlete the foreign element prevails. Those who) know Mr. Colfax will smile at this kind of feeble invention; for if his political principles did not turbid any such fatlior upon his part, hit poliiicil sagacity would prevent the exprekion of it.

Whisky In Bond, Yesterday, tha House in Committee of the whole, passed a section of the taX bill requiring; the bonded warehouse's to be cleared within six' month. It provides that the Isi ot the whisky ihvh held with sn addiitou of four dollar per barrel, shall be paid within six mouths; otherwisethe wh'nky is to be confiscated and soli lor the benefit of the Government, ibis looka like business. We ured thi policy uporr the sttention of Congress a yeir sgo, snd hsd it been adopted then the robberies that have sines been committed would have been largely diminished. Tha bonded whi.ky io thiscounty alone amounts to about 1 00,000 barrels. Tbe x on this at fifty cent per gallon, with the lour dollars per barrel extra, would amount to tl 400 000. Had ihi , piovision been sdopted when the tec was two dollars, the sum woudl have reached 13,000,000. Üut one-fourth of this is better then nothing Therefore let Cougrets d now what it should have done a year sgo, Under the new regulations, now under consideration, all taxc are to be paid before the whiky i removed from the di-' ti Iter ics. This will check fraud to some ex'e.'it but, until Johnson goes out of othco and honest uien areappinwied to fill1 the ofikos in- the department now occupied by rascler the revenues will n u be fully collected. The combination of thieve control the Pieideui and dictate1 appointments. Thi beiu the case, the r for in which the interest of ihn peopl.. require cun not bo brought about while' Joiioson remain in power. Therefor we have urged, and still urge, a reduction-1 of the lax to 20 or 25 cents. It is strange' that Congressmen do not see (he nercaaity' lor this. Rvcry honest mm' who 'knowssiijllitig about lie whUky business secsit, and ilio IJjards of Trade of several -eif--its have indorted the proposition: VW-L iVn-rci-s fixes the tax at It) reutt, whrirla still leae a lare margin Tor thieve to opcrato üf on.
